The Shackles (Poem)

Vulnerable in war time.Vulnerable in peace time.Violated by insane men in rape.Abused by draconian laws and policies.The shackles of a Girl-Child!

The joy of sane parents,And treated as Queen by same,And valued as Gem by same.Treated like a plaque by idiotic parents.Sold out in monitory values by ‘animals’!In the name of marriage!Fight for her hand in marriage by imbeciles!

No one can comprehend,No one can understand,What a normal/sane man is looking for,What he is truly looking for her perineum.In the perineum of a Girl-Child!I’m puzzled by the fun a sane man derives,The fun he derives in the perineum of a Girl-Child!A Girl-Child perineum is delicate and immature!

A Girl-Child is devastated with pregnancy.She is racked and traumatized with marriage.But she’s empowered with education.She’s destroyed with a man’s pen, the penis.But made a conqueror with the powers of the pen,And books of knowledge!Train a Girl-Child; a Nation is established.Give her marriage; a Nation will groan and stunt in pains!

Dedicated to my mother; Chioma Adeline NJOKU and all mothers who ll never give out their Gem in marriage as a child, but educate her for a more beautiful future!
